Groups

A group is a list of email addresses organized under a single nickname, providing an easy way to send messages to a collection of people at once. When you send mail to the group, a copy of your message is sent to each member of the group.

Creating groups
To create a group:

  1. Click the ADDRESSES link in the navigation bar.
  2. Click the GROUPS link in the navigation bar.

  4. Enter a nickname for the group in the NICKNAME field.
  5. Select the check boxes next to the address book contacts you want to include in the group.
  6. (Optional) Select a category in which to file the group from the CATEGORY menu.
    Any person or group you file in "Quicklist" will appear in a menu on the WRITE MAIL page. To send mail to someone in your quicklist, select the group and write your message as usual. The quicklist lets you quickly address a message to groups or contacts without having to open your address book.
  7. In the ADDITIONAL EMAIL ADDRESSES field, enter any email addresses you want to include in the group that are not already entered in your address book.
  8. (Optional) Enter any notes about the group in the NOTES text box.
